Having prior geological and geotechnical information, both in urban planning and in civil engineering projects, allows for more accurate planning of the corresponding subsoil studies, a more efficient design of the projected structures and infrastructures and anticipation of possible problems that may arise during their execution. The Geoindex Geotechnical Surveys viewer facilitates access to the Catalan Bore Holes Database (BDSoC) and to the bore holes of the Barcelona Geotechnical Map on CD-ROM (2000).

The viewer shows the situation of more than 30,000 bore holes records, penetrometers and test pits, enabling the download of the lithological column and other data of interest. It is fed by data from the different types of mechanical surveys from geotechnical and geological studies for construction and public works. The sources of this data are mainly from the studies of the ICGC itself, from the public institutions of the Government of Catalonia (Infraestructures.cat, INCASÒL, etc.) and the minucipalities. Occasionally, data is also available from some private companies that have provided information.

The representation of the location of all the collected survey points is carried out through the Geoindex viewer, which allows a series of representative data to be quickly obtained, such as the code of the report containing the data or an original synthetic column from the author of the report that can be downloaded in PDF. This data is complemented by the available surveys associated with transport infrastructure projects (road network and railway network) and the interrogable geoservices of the Geological Map of Catalonia (1:250,000 and 1:50,000) and the Geotechnical Map of Barcelona 1:25,000.
